An 18-point hole was too much to dig out of for the Harrisburg Bulldogs Tuesday night at Davenport Gymnasium. Harrisburg fell 71-66 at home to the Fairfield Mules which snapped a 25-game home winning streak for HHS.

“Nobody wants to lose, but I do think it was a great lesson,” said Harrisburg coach Randy Smithpeters. “We had a very good team coming in here. We got down early, but we come out and battle and get back in. We didn’t get our heads down and we didn’t pout.”

“It pointed out some things that we’ve got to do better,” said Smithpeters. “We gave up some things we don’t want to give up. We want to get better and these are the kind of games that make you better.”
